Was fighting with the problem in 2011 and still do, how to log in with ajax?
The problem is that I have a one pager app with client site js code that
needs to register if the user is logged in
when I login with e.g.
index.html:
<div id="i-login-form"></div>
js code:
web2py_component(localconfig.baseurl + '/default/user.load/login',
'i-login-form')
default.py unchanged from welcome app
user.load
{{=form}}
I have not found a way to register in the js code if the login was a
success or fail
I modified web2py_component so that it has a callback that is executed
every time the ajax call in web2py_ajax_page (via web2py_component) is
completed
web2py_component(localconfig.baseurl + '/default/user.load/login',
'i-login-form', undefined, undefined, function() {
// do some other ajax call if the login was a success
});
But this is far from ideal. The callback code must check if this is the
first call and if the login was a success. Also if the login failed (e.g.
an email was provided but no password) no form is returned :(
Do I really have to write my own server side login methods to make this
work? Any news on this?
